The True Nature of Depression
I wrote this for a Yahoogroup. I thought of posting the name of this group and administrator, but decided against it. If thiswill help anyone, it will have been worth while. Depression is
a damnable illness. And it is. An illness. And not a mental illness. No matter what they say. i wrote this in response to someone else's post.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this Pat. You are very knowledgeable and encouragingly positive!-The Administrator____________

I've come to the (probably erroneous conclusion) that depression, at least clincial depression, isn't a mental illness at all.
Surprise, surpres.
I dobut > a shrink would agree. it's mainly a deficiency or an unbalance of hormone, seratonin(and something else) that isn't functioning properly in the brain. It's what making our bodies react in such a sad and unfortunate way. So, I've learned that suffering from depression is a fact of life. Just like my darned allergies. You can take meds for it. God knows, there's a lot of them to choose from. If you don't believe me, just hang out in a shrinks office and see all those pharmaceutical reps with their cute little black suits (ever notice they all wear black?)
So, yeah, take your meds.
But the main thing that I'vefound is: when I do go through that black hole, and I still do, (sort of like being punched in the stomach--sensation) I realize that I'm just not feeling well. I'll know the cause. Nothing I can do about it except pretend it's a nasty bit of bad cheese and adjust accordingly. When I'm laying in bed, or on the verge of wanting to commit suicide (you notice I say wanting, not preparing) I realize I don't really want to be dead, but just not want to be alive AT THE MOMENT.
That's the key. AT THE MOMENT. This dead feeling too shall pass. It eases the pain somewhat. Truly, it does.
I hope all you with bi-polor or depression realize that this mental illness is physical in nature. It's a chemical inbalance. There are pills that can control it, and that's it's NOT YOUR FAULT. >
For those with bi-polar and/or depression, you need to read read Kay Jamison's wonderful books about her own bi-polar experiences "An Unquiet mind." Unbelieveably good book. You can look at her experience and realize this woman has become a champion for a cause of bi-polar patients, has a PHD and has made a great life for herself, along with a successful marriage. And her bi-polar was BAD. I also suggest her "Flames of Fire." about > depression and the artistic temperatment. And keep reading other books. They will help you understand It made me learn to cope. > Sometimes better than others--but cope is what I'm doing.
Come visit my website at: www.patriciaanneguthrie.com. or my blogspot at: www.paguthrie.blogspot.com. or My space at: www.Myspace.com/paguthrie. I haven't had many articles on this. topic, yet Maybe someone would like to share a short article or story about your own experiences that I could post on my blog. Believe me, it will help others.
And another note: Don't think people who suffer from depressison or bi-polar disorder are weak. Far from it. Some are the strongest people in the world. They have to be. They're dealing with an illness and the world.

Being stuck in bed and how that helps my writing.
Ten inches of snow outsideSo, I'm supposed to be at the Love Is Murder conference in Rosement, instead, I'm pumped full of antibiotics and am lying in bed, three collies for company. Am I whining? Of course I am.
I was supposed to be on two panels this weekend. I sent in the answsers to some prelim questions. They were interesting. I thought I'd share some of my thoughts about animals in novels and the roles they play.
So far my dogs and horse have not quite made protagonist status. Lady in Waterlillies has made secondary character where she actually helps catch the bad guy. In Lillian Jackson Bruan's wonderful Cat Who series, the Siamese Koko is constantly providing his master Quilleran with clues. Quilleran, so far, waits until almost the end before recognizing them as clues. And the cat always has the superior attitude, "well, I told you so."
I noticed in "Murder at the Gallop" a Miss Marple starring Margaret Rutherford (nothing like the orgininal book or the BBC sereis) a horse is used as a murder weaopon . Not the horse's fault, of course. We are SO GLAD when the murderer is caught.
Susan Conant drew from her Malamutes and the world of dog shows to provide use with her wonderful mystery series, equipped with Steve, her veterinarian boy friend. Every book took their relationship further, including the two books where they broke up and HE got married to a nasty piece of goods. The last I heard she was going to write a different series starring a cat.
I'm thinking about a new book. Yes, I'm still working on that one that's dragged on for ten years now. I won't quit on this one, but I will move forward on the next one. I'm surprising myself as to where it might take me.
If you haven't had your morning coffee, it's in the pot, blueberry muffins are courtesy from Dunkin' Donuts this morning. My nose is running and I have a hacking cough. I also have a dog on my feet and a computer on my lap.
Have computer; intend to use it.
Take care all. I know you all are visititng, but I'd dearly love for some of you to leave comments so I know I don't have ghosts fluttering around in my computer.

Bronchitis is the pits and story from Erin Collins
Well, this is a nasty first.
I'm supposed to go to a "Love is Murder" conference in Rosemont this weekend--a dandy one with mystery authors I'd love to meet (Tess Garritson for one) and now I won't be able to go.
I'm stuck in bed with a nasty bout of bronchitis. This sucks. Period. My only sort-of-consolation is the weather. Seven to ten inches of snow. If one thing doesn't hit you, another will.
I was supposed to be on two panels this weekend and will send in my answers to the panel's questions before hand so they can use them in their presentations.
For your enjoyment, I'd like to post a short story by fellow author Erin Collins.
I gazed out toward the white caps playing chase with the early morning sun's reflection.
I dug my toes into the still cool sand, relishing this moment of solitude, for I knew it would not last.
While my eyes beheld the surf, my mind was seeing another day; the day I had met him. It was much like today,
I, alone on the stretch of beach, a bucket in my hand, which was full of shells I had picked up earlier.
He seemed to come out of nowhere, running, obviously loving the freedom the beach afforded.
He was alone. He was a bit scruffy looking, but he also had a charm about him, which attracted me immediately.
His brown hair, those expressive amber eyes, and the wonderful smile he threw in my direction, was heart wrenching.
I had told myself I would never get involved with another relationship like this again. Yet, this one seemed different. From looking at him, I wondered whether he was already in a relationship. As I got acquainted with him, I eventually gave in.
I don't know exactly how long we were together.
I don't know exactly how long we were together.
With him, time melted away into the mundane, where we refused to go. I do know he loved me, no matter what I did, no matter what my appearance was. He was my best friend, my confidant.
He had loved the beach early in the morning.
He would inevitably wake me early in the morning, and, in spite of my grumbling protests, drag me to the beach.
We would bring our Frisbee and toss it around, playfully teasing each other with it. Walking together, we left our footprints in the sand, only to have them wash away with the tide.
The first time he kissed me was that first day on the beach.
It was decided right then that we would move in together
I hear a noise. I brace myself, expecting it to be him, somehow. It is only the wind. I sigh. It will never be the same again, this beach, this sand, yet, somehow, it is an eternal part of us both: a connection which will never be broken.
I buried him out here, in the place he loved best.
Best Friend, My Dog. I miss you.

In the Arms of the Enemy by Patricia A. Guthrie
In the Arms of the Enemy
Heroine interview
Tell us about your heroine --- the female lead in your book.What's her name?
Maggie McGregor (Margaret, but nobody calls her thatWhy did you pick that name? I didn't. Maggie picked it for herself. Nothing else fit. She was a Maggie.
Give us a brief description of how she looks.
Maggie's about five foot three-four inches. She has red hair, light skin that sunburns and freckles if she isn't careful, blue eyes like the Caribbean, fit from riding horses and doing barn chores. Wears mainly jeans, tank tops and over shirts, but "cleans up well."Is there anything unusual about her appearance? Her hair. Curly, shoulder length and the color, as described by Adam, of a fire framing her face. (well, maybe he didn't exactly say that, but I'm in a poetic mood.)
Who does she love?
She was engaged to Ricki Lane the owner of Lane Training Stables because he taught her to be a successful trainer. She was young and fell in love with not only his looks and manners, but what she thought he stood for. (Boy was she wrong)
Through the course of the story she falls in love with Adam Blakely a horse owner who brings his horse into her father's barn. Something about him moves her, he's there when he needs her, and something about his is like a Greek tragedy."
Does this person love her?
Ricky Lane was more involved with promoting himself and didn't mind screwing Maggie to make himself look better. So, I'd say no to him. But he's not important, because he's murdered.
Adam Blakely, despite a huge amount of misgivings falls in love with Maggie. He's smitten with her caring and fun-loving nature, her love of horses his attraction to her. But Adam has a secret. (see hero interview) and his secret makes it dangerous for him to fall in love with whom he thinks Maggie is.
Tell us about her family.
The only family Maggie has left is her father Cullum McGreggor. He's very protective about his daughter especially with what happened before the story began. The community has also taken an interest and everyone interacts, has gone to school together and will protect "their own." They're like extended family. what happens to one of them, happens to all of them.
Where is she from?
Michigan
Does her hometown affect her behavior, thoughts and attitude?
Yes they do. they've always come together in friendship and trouble. You can see that with the keen interest the sheriff has in stranger, when an elderly horsewoman cross-examinated Adams intent toward Maggie on the trails and the threatening way the farmer questioned Adam at the hospital. Asking him if he was her boyfriend trainer and if he'd beaten her up. Fortunately, Adam was able to say no on both counts (Maggie fell off an intentionally broken ladder at the barn)
What does she want out of life?
Maggie wants a career as a horse trainer. She's a loving woman who needs to be loved in return, and she won't settle for being second best.
What's her biggest secret? (Only share if it isn't a spoiler in the story.)
Maggie thinks Ricky Lane killed Black Autumn and whoever killed Ricky might be after her too. There are forces at work who would destroy her.
Did you write more than one story about her? No.
How would she describe you?
I think she'd like to put me in a straight jacket and deposit me someplace where I can't take over her life and give her all those problems. She sees me coming and wants to run and hide.
Is there anything else about your heroine that we need to know? Feel free to share.
Maggie is naive about a lot of things, but she's had to grown up fast between the prologue and the first chapter. She's wary of people and, although basically being outgoing, now she wants to shrink away. She feels guilty about leaving Black Autumn, a horse she'd loved and trained, to a man (Ricky Lane) she thinks might have killed him. Now, she's scared that someone might be after her.

It was wonderful to meet her. Thank you for bringing her to meet us.
Maggie says as soon as things are back to normal, she would love to go out for lunch. Her treat. And--she'll even invite her author-mommy. (that's me.) That is if I haven't put her in the middle of another murder.
